Bojović & Partners, as a member of the South East Legal Alliance – SELA, participated as a sponsor of the Smith Novak NPL Europe Conference held in London on March 9-10, 2017.
The conference, which takes a look at trends and developments in the European NPL market, brings together the key players in the European NPL market. Marija Bojović, a founding partner of Bojović & Partners and SELA, participated in the panel discussion covering the countries of South East Europe. The panel covered innovations in the regional market, expected transactions and lessons learned from recent experience. The conference was also attended by SELA members Žurić i Partneri and Kirm Perpar.
The panel discussed how NPL portfolio sales are increasing in the region and their management, resolution and prevention is among the top priorities of regional regulators. With numerous banks present in multiple regional markets, multi-jurisdictional transactions are inevitable, which has been evidenced by heaving investor side interest. Also following on with these trends, increasing interest and awareness is being given to different restructuring options and enforcement as a preventative measure.
